About

The Rosendale Street Festival is a family friendly, not for profit grassroots organization that was started in 1978 to showcase local talent and to celebrate the birthday of Rosendale icon, Uncle Willy.

Today the Street Fest continues this tradition and has evolved into a family-friendly, two-day event that closes Main Street and boasts 7 stages,over 80 bands, over 100 of the best vendors in the Hudson Valley, parades, kids crafts, and film festivals.

This is a completely volunteer run event and proceeds go to supporting the music departments of the Kingston, New Paltz, and Rondout Valley School Districts.

Festival Rules: No glass containers or weapons. No alcohol can be brought into the festival. No pets or animals. Bicycles and skateboards must be walked. Bags will be checked at the entrances. Please consume beer in beer gardens only so we can keep our liquor license, thank you for your support.
